PARIS: France has made"undeniable efforts" to roll out a feminist foreign policy with women holding top ministerial jobs, but is still falling short in defending women's rights around the world, according to a new report.
But an evaluation of its progress published Monday by the High Council for Equality - an independent consultative body - found mixed results, with strides made at home outpacing"timid progress" abroad, council president Sylvie Pierre-Brossolette told AFP. While Luxembourg, Spain, Mexico, Germany, and Chile have joined the ranks to embrace feminist diplomacy, according to the United Nations, pioneering Sweden, which launched the concept in 2014, abandoned the effort last year after a change in government.
The top diplomat is also supported by two women who occupy two out of the three junior ministerial posts: Chrysoula Zacharopoulou, in charge of development issues, and Laurence Boone who is responsible for Europe.Still, the concept"cruelly lacks an official definition, political support at the highest level of government and the means to deploy it," Pierre-Brossolette said, noting Macron's recent speeches make no reference to the strategy.
